There's a certain mode of intensity, depth and energy with which women converse with each other, and probably several other things which we guys have no understanding about. Men come close to this in comparison, when absorbed with various hobbies and passionate interests. But its women who can seem to immediately turn on all these abilities to full whack at the drop of a hat.
Few men can keep pace with this, and are more than likely to be considered a 'bit unusual' should they attempt to do so, for any length of time beyond that which is generally expected of them. Unless they happen to be comedians or professional entertainers. then they can just about scrape through.
But if women need to yack on, nothing will stop them doing so.
So I think its more do with men being overwhelmed by this ability, not their inability to contribute.
I'm nearly up to 700 posts, would have been more if I hadn't had so many pc problems, and I can only echo what has been so well said by others on this thread, there's plenty of us blokes who DO say things on here that we hope are valid or just plain daft valid! lol
I don't think they are shying off the forum; they just aren't answering threads they find boring.
Double :shock:
What do you class as girlie then Phuckers?
Because if there was a girlie thread running, I would be the last person to be posting.
TBH- as a "girl" who can hold their own in any "male" environment, I find that comment quite insulting.
do i need to say more a pure example why most men cant stand cafe forum
______________
is it your duty to spread ignorance
Just had a quick count - most of the current threads in the Cafe were started by men. Judging by that, they definitely aren't shying away from the Cafe.

Splendid responded to my posting in an aggressive manner telling me that is all about power, I agree it is quite often (BUT NOT ALWAYS !!)
He / she states that I should "read up on a subject before posting crap", I have read about the subject & have also spent 26 years working with rapists & sex offenders, many of whom categorically deny it being a power issue but will admit openly that they felt like sex & took it much like a thief takes property because they want it (or is that a power issue also ??)
In closing, thanks for making my first posting so pleasant, don't think I'll bother again if this is indicative of the forum !!
i better go join other blocks'mates' in the pub,man u playing chelsea in an hours time
Phuckers, you have a very real opportunity to try to justify your point here. I'm not out for a row, really, genuinely am not- I have way to much else to be thinking about at the moment.
I hope you use the opportunity wisely, because as it stands you've just insulted many forumites, not just some of the female ones, but some of the guys too because as FB says many of the current threads have been started by blokes.
An in response to your copy & pasted post, I know that I for one respond even handedly to male or female posters irrespective of gender.
This thread looks like it's going nowhere apart from down, so gonna lock it.
